Abstract

A height adjustable seat post, comprising a body, suitable to be inserted into a seat tube of a bicycle frame, and a quill, comprising a head assembly with clamping means suitable to attach to a bicycle saddle. Quill is slideably associated to body to be selectively translated between at least an upper locked position and a lower locked position, respectively corresponding to at least an upper height position and a lower height position of the saddle. Quill includes at least a spring, inserted into its inner cavity, and a plurality of lock elements, slideably engaged in a respective plurality of through seats, distributed along quill cross section; the spring is suitable to spring load the lock elements radially outward so as to protrude from the respective through seats. The body of the seat post includes, on its inner surface, a plurality of first through slots, a plurality of partial upper slots and a plurality of partial lower slot, distributed along body cross section. First through slots, partial upper slots and partial lower slots are in the same number of the lock elements. The lock elements are selectively engageable, by rotation of quill within body, performed by the rider, in the partial upper slots so as to retain quill in the upper locked position, or in the partial lower slots so as to retain quill in the lower locked position, or in the first through slots, along which they can slide, so as to allow the rider to translate quill between said upper height position and said lower height position of the saddle.

Abstract

A bicycle pump includes a pump body assembly, a handle assembly, a flexible hose assembly, and/or a magnet. The pump body assembly may include an outer tube, which defines an air chamber, and a head assembly with an air outlet opening. The handle assembly may slidably be associated with the body assembly, and include an inner tube and a piston, slidable inside the outer tube. The flexible hose assembly may be suitable to be stored inside the inner tube when the pump is not in use, and suitable to be connected to the air outlet opening during pumping. The magnet may connect the flexible hose assembly to the air outlet opening of the head assembly in a removable manner.

Abstract

A seat post assembly has a lightweight bridge (106) that snaps between tubular portions of a seat rail (108), where the bridge has ridges on opposing sides. A clamping mechanism (104) is connected to a seat post (102), where the clamping mechanism has two opposing clamps (116) and a single bolt (126) that attaches the clamps to the seat post. The clamps each have a curved groove (118) matching a curved ridge (112) at the base of the seat post. This allows the seat to be adjusted in angle. Each clamp also has a semi- cylindrical groove (120) that engages "with the tubular portions of the seat rail, where the upper portion of the groove has an opening (130) that engages with the ridges of the bridge to allow the clamping mechanism and bridge to move together and adjust the seat in a fore and aft position. An opening (124) is provided in both clamps for the bolt, where one portion of the bolt has a notch, and one opening has a groove to secure the bolt' when tightening or loosening the bolt.

Abstract

In one embodiment, a stem for bicycle handlebar and the like includes an arm joining the handlebar with a fork. The arm includes a three-piece wedge on each end that is adjustable by a screw to tighten and loosen a middle clamp of the wedge. The wedge is moved to release and tighten the fork and the handlebar independently.

Quick release camming mechanism

Abstract

A quick release camming mechanism is used in a bicycle skewer that secures a hub to a fork. Whereas prior art quick release mechanisms have only a single lever, this mechanism has two independent levers. About half the force is required to independently push either lever closed as to push both levers closed simultaneously. Similarly, about half the force is required to open either lever individually as to open them simultaneously. A similar quick release camming mechanism also works well for a quick release seat post clamp with similar advantages. The present invention is not limited to use on bicycle components.

Abstract

A spoked wheel comprises a rim, a hub, V-shaped spokes, nipples, and eyelets. There is true pairing of the spokes, because the rim has half the number of spoke attachments as there are nipples. True paired spoking means that there are no side wobble forces or rim twist caused by spoke tension. The rim has spoke attachment holes that are parallel to the axis of wheel rotation and are reinforced with eyelets. The rim has unnecessary material cut away between the spoke attachment holes. To ease adjustment, the nipples are located about midway between the hub and the rim. The hub has longitudinal ribs and that are aligned with each other. That allows the hub body to be machined from a relatively lightweight extrusion. To increase the wheel strength, the inboard spokes are moved outboard as much as possible. The hub has pairs of nipple attachment holes where each pair is located on a diagonal relative to the axis of the hub.

Abstract

A pedal with a body has two opposing plates on different sides of the pedal that can be easily removed or displaced by sliding to access the inner surfaces of the pedal and the backside of traction pins. In this way, traction pins can be replaced even after the pins have been worn out or broken.
